Enduring Loss in Early Modern Germany
This anthology assembles cross-disciplinary perspectives on the experience of and responses to forms of material and spiritual loss in early modern Germany, tracing how individuals and communities registered, coped with, and made sense of such events as war, religious reform, bankruptcy, religious marginalization, the death of spouses and children, and the loss of freedom of movement through a spectrum of activities including writing poetry, keeping diaries, erecting monuments, collecting books, singing, painting, reconfiguring space, repeatedly migrating, and painting, and thereby not only turned loss into gain but self-consciously made history. Emerging from the 2008 interdisiplinary conference of Frühe Neuzeit Interdisziplinär, the essays reveal how loss helped to create identity and gave rise to agency and creativity on the cusp of modernity. Contributors are Rosalind J. Beiler, Claudia Benthien, Jill Bepler, Duane J. Corpis, Alexander J. Fisher, Ulrike Gleixner, Claudia Jarzebowski, Hans Medick, Barbara Lawatsch Melton, Christopher Ocker, Helmut Puff, Thomas Max Safley, Jeffrey Chipps Smith, Lynne Tatlock, Mara Wade, Lee Palmer Wandel, and Bethany Wiggin.
The Transformation of Failure
This study of Wolfgang Koeppen's two pre-war and three post-war novels demonstrates a continuity both in Koeppen's thematic concerns and in the underlying development of his characters throughout the five novels. Often the novels have been treated as works of pessimistic social and political criticism: by contrast, this detailed analysis of the unique creative inner lives and the corresponding spiritual development of the characters - with the exception of Johannes von Sude in Die Mauer schwankt - demonstrates the narrator's positive assessment of the characters and the increasingly optimistic tendency of the novels."
Clinical Hypnosis
Hypnosis is an interaction where a trance state of consciousness is induced and utilized to produce beneficial psychological and physiological changes by suggestions. Used since ancient times, today it is a scientific, highly effective treatment in medicine freed from authoritarian, manipulative and esoteric burden. It allows communication with the unconscious mind where otherwise unrecognized and are organized and regulated. A major advantage for patients is that after simple guidance they can use it themselves in the form of self-hypnosis. Moreover, in acute medicine such as emergencies or surgeries patients often enter a natural trance state all by itself making hypnotic induction dispens...

Glass of the Roman World
Glass of the Roman World illustrates the arrival of new cultural systems, mechanisms of trade and an expanded economic base in the early 1st millennium AD which, in combination, allowed the further development of the existing glass industry. Glass became something which encompassed more than simply a novel and highly decorative material. Glass production grew and its consumption increased until it was assimilated into all levels of society, used for display and luxury items but equally for utilitarian containers, windows and even tools. These 18 papers by renowned international scholars include studies of glass from Europe and the Near East. The authors write on a variety of topics where the...
Archäologie und Restaurierung
Astrid Fendt untersucht am Beispiel der Berliner Antikensammlung Praktiken und Diskurse zum Sammeln, Restaurieren und Präsentieren von antiker Plastik im 19. Jahrhundert. Im Mittelpunkt des Buches steht die Beziehung zwischen Restaurierungspraxis und Wissenschaftsdiskurs: welche Bilder von Antike(n) werden durch die jeweils aktuellen Praktiken zur Ergänzung, Um- und Entrestaurierung von antiker Plastik entworfen beziehungsweise liegen ihnen zugrunde? Dieser Frage geht die Autorin unter Berücksichtigung der sich in dem Zeitraum als eigenständige Fachdisziplin etablierenden Klassischen Archäologie nach. Des Weiteren werden die in der Berliner Sammlung ausgebildeten Wissens- und Kompetenzstrukturen sowie die jeweiligen Präsentationskonzepte mit in die Analyse einbezogen. Somit wird auf der Basis eines ausführlichen Kataloges in einer transdisziplinären Studie erstmals die Restaurierungsgeschichte der Berliner antiken Plastik mit vergleichendem Blick auf andere, maßgebliche europäische Sammlungen geschrieben. Dabei entstanden ist ein Grundlagenwerk zur Geschichte der Antikenrestaurierung und des Antikensammelns.

Der Band diskutiert Perspektiven innovativer Kooperation und Kompetenzentwicklung.
